Whilst events were moving rapi•Ily outside, time at Lungdean (:range Seemed to stand still. The dust and the desolation were over therm, the gloom brooded like an evil spirit. And yet it. was but the calm before the storm that was coiii img to ban- ish the hoary old spectres for good. Still, Enid felt the monotony to he as maddening as ever. There were timuts when she rebelled passionately against the solitude of the place. Thee were moments to her when it seemed that her ' d couldn't stand the strain much longer. Itut she had hope, that blessed leg- acy to the sanguine and the young. And there wore times when she would creep out and see Ruth (.ata7t, Who found the Rottingdean !toad very convenient for cycling just now. And there was always the anticipa- tion of a telephone message from Chris. Originally the telephone had been established so that the house- hold could bo run without the in- trusion of tradesmen and other strangers. it had seemed a great anomaly at the time, but now b.nid blessed it every moment of the day. And she was, perhaps, not quite so unhappy as she deemed herself to be. She had her lover back again, now, with his character free from every imputation. The sun straggled In through the dim, (testy panes; the monotonous !Acro of Mrs. Henson droned In the oindow in &Dano perplexity. ''to west moment she had something else le occupy her mind. Reginald 1 ea - son was corning up the drive. Just for an instant Enid felt inclined to despair. "Willianis," she cried, "1L•. lien - 'son is here.

As soon as the drawing - room door closes, go." Williams nodded. He was essen• tially a man of action rather thin words. With all the coolness she could summon up Enid descended to the hall. She gave a little gesture of s'nrprise and disdain as she caught sight of Ilenson. "So you came down to welcome mo?" Enid said, coldly. A sudden light of rage lit up henson's blue eyes. He caught Enid almost roughly by the shoulders and pushed her into the (Sawing -room.'

Enid passed on into the shadow of "I had only one sister," she said,1 the plantation. A little farther on nearer the wall the dogs seemed to be excited about something. Wil- liams' rusty voice could be heard ex- postulating with some intruder. By hits stood a man who, though fairly well dresseu, looked as it he had slept in his garments for days. There was a dazed, puzzled, absent espres- sion on his face. "Vou might have been killevl," Williams croaked. "If you hadn't stood still they dogs would have pulled you to pieces.

She did not dare to use the telephone yet, though she had made up her mind to ask Steel to come over and take Van Sneck away. Later on she could send the message.

His lips grew firm, his eyes were like points of steel. Mrs. Ilea - son was peeing the dusty floor, mut- tering and crooning to herself. Ilen- son touched her arta, at the same time holding some glittering object before her eyes. IL was a massive ruby ring with foul' black pearls ott either side. "Look here," he whispered. "Do you recognize it? Have you seen it before?" A pitiful, wailing cry came from Mrs. dlenson's lips. She was trem- bling from head to foot with a strange agitation. She gazed at the ring as a thirsty man in a des- ert might have looked on a draught of cold spring water. She stretched out, her hand, but Henson drew batik, "I thought you hail not forgotten it." he smiled. "It means much to you, honor, peace, happiness—your sou restored to his proper place in the world. Last time 1 was here 1 wanted 100003', a mere bagatelle to you. Now 1 want £10,000." "No, no," Mrs. Ilenson cried. "Von will ruin me—C.10,000! What do you do with all the money? Vou profess to give it all to charity. But 1 kiiow better.

Little. Of course, a 1111111 must provide suil- aide feed end shelter and know how to take care of fall pigs or he will 1,01 be satisfied. The fall pig can- not hustle for himself around the barn yard, eat out in the snow, Fleep in a cold nest, and thrive very well A pig several months old may do this if he ham plenty of corn and a little slop. But the young pig. farrowed say in October, must have special care and feed in order to make a reasonable growth. Mine is a winter dairy. 1 have more skim milk to dispose of during the cold months than during the warm ones. During September and October a large number of my pigs are farrowed. I must have them te. utilize this by-product of the dairy profitably. In my case, I proved that necessity is the mother or invention. I will admit that I had to solve the problem of grow- ing full pigs. For 'nature hogs, the temporary. outdoor hog house works very well, but it is not the place for the fall - farrowed pig. .Ho needs a good roomy pen that is warm and dry. hoc weeks at a time ho ought not to go out of doors. Every pleasant day the doors of our pen are opet- cd to give the hog house an airing anti to allow the pigs to take out- door exercise if they choose, yet they prefer to remain in the pen most of the time. Sonne days they go out in their yards for a short time. But they hct as if they were pleased when the doors are shut and the pen again assunx:S its 1101'1r - n1 temperature. The fall pig should have a balanced rittion. He should not be allowed to eat too mucn corn or too large a proportion of skim milk. My ex- per:once is that the milk should be in about the ratio of three pounds to one pound of corn. I never teed the skint milk clear, but make a stop of it by mixing wheat mid- dlings and dried beet pulp. The former is splendid food for graving young pigs. It contains the pro - telt. and the carbohydrates in just about the right proportion. '('hero is nothing that n young pig likes better than n slop made in this way.

The dry feeding system is meeting with increasing favor. Breeders who have tried one season of it, says the Poultry Nows, claim that the egg production is increased and they have more uniform growth with the young stock. The feed boxes aro kept tilled with a variety of grains, the grit box is full and also a box of charcoal. Prom these tho fowls take their choice, balancing their owl rations as they do in the 101111- tuer time on free range. It has not been very long since the farmer was censured for letting his poultry have the range of the feed yards, where was always a sup- ply of corn, and of the barn, with its wheat and oat bins. It was a source of wonder to (he town breed- er that under such conditions the farmer's flock laid an egg. yetthey continued to pay the grocer. Where there is a variety of grains it is not very different from the dry feed sys- tem if chickens aro supplied with pure water, housed warmly in dry quarters and really have access to feed bins. it they aro supplied with grit and charcoal they will dotilttless lay as well as the fancier's fowls on dry feed and free range.

Scrofula is consumption of the small glands under the skin, and these break out into sores. Scott's Emulsion heals these sores. But there's more to the story. The loss of flesh and great weakness that comes with Scrofula is a regular part of the disease - -the same as in consumption of the lungs. For this b • for the sores, Scott's Emulsion is just the remedy. Flesh and strength are gained by the use of Scott's Emulsion quicker than in any other way.

SCOTT & DOW N 11, Chesni,ts, To,nnln, (1,1 — ee..a— I SURGEON'S TAKE CHANCES OPERATIONS PERFOPMED IN CURIOUS PLACES. Children's Legs Amputated in the Street—Saving a Life in a Restaurant. Many a man's life has been sawed by the quick use of the surgeon's knife, and so it is not very astonish- ing to learn that serious operations are sometimes conducted in queer places. In the streets of New York, for instance, where statistics go t., prove that a serio'is accident occurs evecy ten minutes, operations in public thoroughfares and in the pre- sence of crowds of onlookers have bemtno so frequent as to cease to bo looked upon as remarkable. A curious coincidence occurred a couple of months ago, when Ambu- lance -Surgeon Joseph Samenfeld, of St. Catherine's hospital, Ilrooklyn, amputated l.he legs of two children who had been caught under different trolley -cars. The first case was that of little four -Fear -old Isaac Willin- skie, who lives at 365 Brunswick Avenue, and who fell in front of a trolley -car. Dr. Sameifeld arrived as the railroad employes were jack- ing the car up, but they said it. wo•ild be twenty minutes before they could get the boy out. On hearing this Dr. Samonteld throw oti Isis coat and, crawling un- der the car, made an operation -table of the street, and in a few minutes appeared with the unconscious boy, having amputated the leg and left it still pinned to the rail by the car. 'I'IHE COURAGEOUS SURGEON was busy making out his report at the hospital when a similar call canto from Leonard Street, saying that Bertha Signosse, of 109 John- son Avenue, had been run over in almost the sante manner as the Wil- linskie boy. Dr. Same:de/a rushed off and cut off the child's leg, leav- ing the liinb still under the wheel, and took the girl to the hospital. !loth children recovered, though had they been permitted to lie under the car a few minutes longer they would undoubtedly have died. In one of the most fashionable res• taurants in Paris, last spring, a man's life was saved through the skill and quickness of ono of the guests. It appears that a gentle- man, entlo-n►an, with three friends, was dining at one of the small tables, when a piece of meat lodged in his throat 01111 iso found it impossible to get rill of it. itis friends in alarm slapped hien on the back, but the unfortun- ate roan bee•amo black in the face and fell to the floor. A surgeon from the Gerniau llusl►i• sal, who happened to be dining to the cafe, pushed his way througt the crowd. ile saw at once that the man was dying, and if prompt meas• mires were not taken he would quickll succumb. ile ordered ono of tht waiters to bring hien a small ('inne such as in used in bottling wine, and then, without a moment's hesitation took out a sharp knife, C1J1' '1'111'. MAN'S THROAT, removed the piece of treat, and—the waiter having returned—quickly in sorted the funnel in the opening. The man WW1 then hastily conveyed to the hospital, where a silver tube was inserted in the place of the funnel, and a few hours later he was pro• flounced ovt of danger. Last July Oliver Holtnrn, while at work on the Postal Building in Nevi . fork, Otte of the modern skyserap• ers, nets crushed by a 1111189 of steel falling fromm aderiick Ills fellow.w• workmen shouted a warning to 11110, but 1t was too late and he was struck down, '1110)' laid him on tits roof and sent for the ambulance. When the surgeon arrived he saw at once that the only chance of saving the man's lit* was 1►y a speedy oper- ation. With the assistance of sever- al of the workmen, who brought di,hes of water, etc., Holiness's leg was quickly set ens!, and he was then gently care List down to the street, put in an anh•ilance, and driven to the 110904l. in tills in- stance however, the operation did not save the man's Ile, as ho died before tho journey was over. •1 A ROYAI.
